I'm curious if anyone has come across any sort of putting aids which create/generate a straight line you can use for practicing shorter  putts (similar to a chalk line)?

I like the idea of having lines directed at the hole, especially for anything inside 6 feet, and I've used chalk lines, alignment sticks, string and knitting needles, etc. to do so. Just curious if anyone has found anything they like that accomplished the same thing.

Thanks!

Ummm ... you took my answer! :-P

I think the string and knitting needles is a perfect idea here.

Also, welcome to the site! :beer:

I use string and knitting needles.

Thanks guys!

Came across this laser alignment aid from eye line golf (http://www.eyelinegolf.com/products/groove-putting-laser-dotted-line).

Anyone see one/tried it out? Or have any thoughts on using a laser for providing a line? A little pricey but interesting concept.

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
